"Windows 11 is getting ReFS support: what it means for you?"

"Recent Windows 11 Insider builds include support for ReFS, the
Resilient File System. The file system is currently only available in Windows server operating systems, but not in client systems. Could this feature mean the end of NTFS? Is ReFS as safe as NTFS?"
The problem I see is the lack of ReFS in all the drive tools. How many partitioning tools (often needed as replacement for Disk Management in Windows) support ReFS? What about backup programs that incorporate NTFS journaling to ensure data integrity? Does ReFS support VSS (Volume
Shadow Copy) to allow backups without interference with locked files?

Worse for me: there's no reverse-engineered Linux driver for it yet,
like ntfs-3g, so if someone hands me a drive formatted with ReFS I
won't be able to read it. I'm guessing Mac users might have similar
issues.
